Lenroot Wins hy 6,000 on
Face ot Two- Thirds Returns]
Republican Candidate For United States Senator In Wisconsin Defeats Davies, Democrat, In Close Race-
Americanism Triumphant and La Follette Is Given
Setback—Socialists and Anti-War Men Are Beaten
Decisively Everywhere Except in Milwaukee.
Milwaukee, Wis.; April 3.—Kaiser-
ism is in desperate straits In Wisconsin today and loyalists are flaunting the flag of victory aa the result of
the special senatorial election to select a successor to the late Senator
Paul O. Hosting.
In * Wllwaukee alone are tbe antiwar adherents triumphant. Elsewhere throughout the atate Americanism haa won u smashing victory.
Democrats today unofficially conceded the election of Irvine L. Leen-
rot, Republican, over Jos. E. Davies,
Democrat. With the vote from approximately two-thirds of the counties now
ln, the count at 10 o'eloek this mon.
ing, stood Lenroot 111893 to 105,807
for Davlaa, giving Ltnroot a plurality
of 6,085. Victor Berger, anti-war candidate and socialist, li trailing a poor
third with 73,006 votes.
Bitter feeling exists among tha
loyalists of Milwaukee, however, because of the victory of Mayor Daniel
W. Hoan, Socialist, ovor Percy Bra-
man, independent. With 118 out of 146
precincts reported Hoan bas 28,800
votes to 27,417 tor Braman. The
miaaing precincts are regarded as
Hoan strongholds.
"The next of Ida, WIsconslns Ku
Klux Klan," is preparing today to
take steps to prevent Hoan's inauguration, aooordlng to Wheeler B. Blood-
good, head of the organisation. Bloo-1-
good stated emphatically today, that
Hoan would aot be inaugurated may
or, but refused to say wbat plan ot
action his organization will follow.
"We shall not stay idle," Bloodgood
aald, "and allow tho enemy to take
over the admlnistraUon of tho elty, to
stab our soldiers In tha back. Our
boya aro battling with the first and
second German line, over la Picardy
aow. This is the third Germaa Uaa
here ln Milwaukee.
"The bulk or the elty ls loyal to
the cause of freedom, and will not
tolerate the insinuation that Milwaukee la pro-German."
Bloodgood's declaration la taken as
an indication that a continued drive
on disloyalty will be carried oa la
Milwaukee even though the state, by
Ita election of an avowedly loyalist
senator .has definitely placed itself
in the ranks of loyal states.

Oermany secures a monopoly of the output of the Rumanian oil wells for

local cantonment aftor successfully
passing examinations in Washington.

CASES OF GRIP
Springfield, O., April 3.—It waa eatlmated today that there are more than
two thousand cases of influenza, or
grip, ta tte city. Factories, railways
and business houses are crippled by
employes being off work.
Dr- E- B Starr, health officer, asserted isolation is desirable, because,
he says, grippe is a contact infection
disease.
Paris, France, April 3—The German bombardment of
Paris waa resumed today.
Two mors blows hsve been struck by the Germans
against the British and French lines without sny decisive
result.
East of Arras, the Kaiser flung his legions againat the British defensive works in the Fampoux sector, but they Were
hurled back after spirited fighting, leaving many dead behind. The British captured some prisoners.
The assault againat the French was made in the district south of Moreuil, which has been the scene of some
bloody fighting since the German drive opened 14 days
ago. The attacking forces were rolled back but succeeded
in gaining a precarious foothold in an advanced trench line.
Just west of Noyon, the French struck northward
against the southern flank of tha German sailent, gaining
some ground at Plemont. To the east of Montdidier, th*
Germans lunged sgainst the French in the Rollot sector,
but the French positions all held firm.
(Fampoux lies about four and one-half miles east of Arras, pn
the Scarpe river. It was in that sector that the Germans made a determined effort last week to break through, the British front with a
huge force of troops and to throw a wedge between Arras and
Vimy Ridge for a double encircling movement. Moreuil is about 11
miles southeast of the British base of Amiens and has changed
hands several times in the past few days. Rollot is a hamlet about
five miles southeast of Montdidier, while Plemont lies about sevea
miles east of Rollot.)
While tte latest flareup of fighting east of Arras evidently was
of a violent character, the balance of the British line stretching
from the Arras sector to a point south of the Somme river has continued to be the scene of a lull, except for local activity"
This deadlock is generally regarded as the prelude to further
powerful German thrusts when
the German armies are brought
into strategic positions.
The British war office reports
Ayette "in possession of the British" as the result of a local operation.
(Ayette lies about seven miles
south of Arras and the official
statement put out in London today was the first admission that
Ae Germans had succeeded in
penetrating the village. The
German war office claimed to
have cleared Ayette of British
forces on 'Saturday.)
The hesitancy of Von Hlndenburg in renewing the drive
against Amiens indicates that the
Germans -are apprehensive and
have undertaken preparations on
B big scale before attempting further efforts to force a wedge between die British and French armies. Powerful forces of British and French reserves are be-
ing held behind the front at every point where the Germans
could possibly strike.
British raiding activity is increasing. The British war office
today reported the capture of
German prisoners from five different points on the western
front.
Huns Hit at Morehjl Line.
Paris, France, April 3.—The Ger-
mans broke the loll on the French
section of the Picardy battlefront last
alght by striking at the French posl-
Uons south of Moreuil.
The attacking forces were thrown
back, tbe French war offlce announoed today.
There was only one point where tbe
Teutons were able to gain a footing.
North of Plemont, Uie French gained some ground.
"South of Moreuil, the Germans
made an attack during the night, but
were thrown back," the official communique said "Oaly* at oae point
wasa the Germans able to gala a footing tn an advanced French trench.
"The Germans attacked near Rollot, but were repulsed.

Lenroot Wins hy 6,000 on
Face ot Two- Thirds Returns]
Republican Candidate For United States Senator In Wisconsin Defeats Davies, Democrat, In Close Race-
Americanism Triumphant and La Follette Is Given
Setback—Socialists and Anti-War Men Are Beaten
Decisively Everywhere Except in Milwaukee.
Milwaukee, Wis.; April 3.—Kaiser-
ism is in desperate straits In Wisconsin today and loyalists are flaunting the flag of victory aa the result of
the special senatorial election to select a successor to the late Senator
Paul O. Hosting.
In * Wllwaukee alone are tbe antiwar adherents triumphant. Elsewhere throughout the atate Americanism haa won u smashing victory.
Democrats today unofficially conceded the election of Irvine L. Leen-
rot, Republican, over Jos. E. Davies,
Democrat. With the vote from approximately two-thirds of the counties now
ln, the count at 10 o'eloek this mon.
ing, stood Lenroot 111893 to 105,807
for Davlaa, giving Ltnroot a plurality
of 6,085. Victor Berger, anti-war candidate and socialist, li trailing a poor
third with 73,006 votes.
Bitter feeling exists among tha
loyalists of Milwaukee, however, because of the victory of Mayor Daniel
W. Hoan, Socialist, ovor Percy Bra-
man, independent. With 118 out of 146
precincts reported Hoan bas 28,800
votes to 27,417 tor Braman. The
miaaing precincts are regarded as
Hoan strongholds.
"The next of Ida, WIsconslns Ku
Klux Klan," is preparing today to
take steps to prevent Hoan's inauguration, aooordlng to Wheeler B. Blood-
good, head of the organisation. Bloo-1-
good stated emphatically today, that
Hoan would aot be inaugurated may
or, but refused to say wbat plan ot
action his organization will follow.
"We shall not stay idle," Bloodgood
aald, "and allow tho enemy to take
over the admlnistraUon of tho elty, to
stab our soldiers In tha back. Our
boya aro battling with the first and
second German line, over la Picardy
aow. This is the third Germaa Uaa
here ln Milwaukee.
"The bulk or the elty ls loyal to
the cause of freedom, and will not
tolerate the insinuation that Milwaukee la pro-German."
Bloodgood's declaration la taken as
an indication that a continued drive
on disloyalty will be carried oa la
Milwaukee even though the state, by
Ita election of an avowedly loyalist
senator .has definitely placed itself
in the ranks of loyal states.

O'clock was peering into camp

local cantonment aftor successfully
passing examinations in Washington.
Captain T. E. Rhoades of the engineer corps, Wbo accompanied Gep.
Glenn abroad made such a hit with
General Perahlnn, commander of the

CASES OF GRIP
Springfield, O., April 3.—It waa eatlmated today that there are more than
two thousand cases of influenza, or
grip, ta tte city. Factories, railways
and business houses are crippled by
employes being off work.
Dr- E- B Starr, health officer, asserted isolation is desirable, because,
he says, grippe is a contact infection
disease.
Paris, France, April 3—The German bombardment of
Paris waa resumed today.
Two mors blows hsve been struck by the Germans
against the British and French lines without sny decisive
result.
East of Arras, the Kaiser flung his legions againat the British defensive works in the Fampoux sector, but they Were
hurled back after spirited fighting, leaving many dead behind. The British captured some prisoners.
The assault againat the French was made in the district south of Moreuil, which has been the scene of some
bloody fighting since the German drive opened 14 days
ago. The attacking forces were rolled back but succeeded
in gaining a precarious foothold in an advanced trench line.
Just west of Noyon, the French struck northward
against the southern flank of tha German sailent, gaining
some ground at Plemont. To the east of Montdidier, th*
Germans lunged sgainst the French in the Rollot sector,
but the French positions all held firm.
(Fampoux lies about four and one-half miles east of Arras, pn
the Scarpe river. It was in that sector that the Germans made a determined effort last week to break through, the British front with a
huge force of troops and to throw a wedge between Arras and
Vimy Ridge for a double encircling movement. Moreuil is about 11
miles southeast of the British base of Amiens and has changed
hands several times in the past few days. Rollot is a hamlet about
five miles southeast of Montdidier, while Plemont lies about sevea
miles east of Rollot.)
While tte latest flareup of fighting east of Arras evidently was
of a violent character, the balance of the British line stretching
from the Arras sector to a point south of the Somme river has continued to be the scene of a lull, except for local activity"
This deadlock is generally regarded as the prelude to further
powerful German thrusts when
the German armies are brought
into strategic positions.
The British war office reports
Ayette "in possession of the British" as the result of a local operation.
(Ayette lies about seven miles
south of Arras and the official
statement put out in London today was the first admission that
Ae Germans had succeeded in
penetrating the village. The
German war office claimed to
have cleared Ayette of British
forces on 'Saturday.)
The hesitancy of Von Hlndenburg in renewing the drive
against Amiens indicates that the
Germans -are apprehensive and
have undertaken preparations on
B big scale before attempting further efforts to force a wedge between die British and French armies. Powerful forces of British and French reserves are be-
ing held behind the front at every point where the Germans
could possibly strike.
British raiding activity is increasing. The British war office
today reported the capture of
German prisoners from five different points on the western
front.
Huns Hit at Morehjl Line.
Paris, France, April 3.—The Ger-
mans broke the loll on the French
section of the Picardy battlefront last
